Gonzalo Mattos, sporting director at his Uruguayan club, said: “I think Europe he could go in a short while.

“Of course he can play in Premier League. Fundamentally for two reasons, one because of his great ability to play at the same level against top players or against his own age, his scoring ability, another because he has top-level physical levels, he has a speed and physical level that others simply do not have.”

Mattos reckons Viera is the next big player to come out of Uruguay and compared him to Suarez, who played for Premier League giants Liverpool.

He said: “I like of course Luis Suarez from his time in Liverpool. Liverpool and Chelsea are my two favourite teams. I enjoyed the physical side of the English game.

“It’s a top league and I like London, my agent lives there and I have been to stay there with him. I would like to play for either Liverpool or Chelsea but just to play in the Premier League is a dream of mine.”
